 ===== About =====
-**LoPoints** are dynamic points of interest that can be displayed above any map. Each LoPoint marks the location and category of a particular place and contains additional information - e.g. opening hours, WWW, phone number, and other attributes. LoPoints can be navigated to and guided similarly to Locus user points. LoPoints are based on OpenStreetMap and Wikipedia data.

 LoPoints can be **streamed from the internet**, loaded from an **offline [[..:maps_locusmaps|LoMap]]** or **both**, depending on your [[..:settings:points_tracks#loading_mode|preference]]. When the app is online, they also contain **photos** from Wikipedia and from Locus users:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:points:lopoints01.jpg?nolink |}}

-You can search for LoPoints from the general Search\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:points:lopoints08.gif?nolink |}}
 It works full-text so e.g. keyword "rest" returns all points with "rest" in their name, description or amenity. The search results can be highlighted on the map in the same way as described above.\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:points:lopoints09.gif?nolink |}}
 To **deactivate the highlight**, tap again the icon in the topbar:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:points:lopoints10.jpg?nolink |}}
